The automatic recovery uses an in-place location.replace reload, which does NOT reliably release the OOM'd wasm heap in every browser (notably Firefox), so the respawn can land right back in an out-of-memory state. Add a user-gesture escape hatch to the terminal MemoryExhaustedDialog: an "Open in a new tab" button that opens the editor in a fresh top-level browsing context (clean retry chain) and closes the current tab. Because it runs from a real click, window.open is not popup-blocked; window.close() may still be refused on the original user-opened tab, which is fine — the new tab is the survivor. Copy tells the user this sometimes helps where the in-place reload didn't. - oom-watch.ts: export respawnInNewTab(win) — fresh-tab respawn with ?oomRetry cleared. - MemoryExhaustedDialog: "Open in a new tab" (primary) + "Reload this tab" (secondary), with honest copy about Firefox + unsaved edits. - WasmTool: wire onOpenNewTab to respawnInNewTab.

PCBJam Web — standalone editor (GPL)
A self-contained, GPL web app that opens KiCad projects in the WASM tools
(pcbnew / eeschema / pl_editor / …) — from a local folder, or from any backend
that implements the MIT @pcbjam/shared contract. It opens a
tool by URL:
/p/<project>/<tool>/<file-path> e.g. /p/demo/pcbnew/nyak.kicad_pcb
This workspace contains only the generic editor and a thin reference backend. All project-specific concerns (accounts, project management, uploads, auth) live in the separate closed application, which reuses this editor by hosting it standalone and redirecting to it (it must not link the GPL editor).
Layout
web/
├── standalone/ # @pcbjam/standalone — the GPL editor (Vite + React)
├── backend/ # @pcbjam/backend-example — thin reference @pcbjam/shared impl
└── pcbjam-shared/ # @pcbjam/shared — the FE↔BE contract (git submodule, MIT)
- Editor: Vite + React + TypeScript. Boots a tool directly in the document (no iframe), syncs the project tree into MEMFS, drives File→Open, and runs same-tab collaboration over BroadcastChannel.
- Example backend: Fastify + ts-rest serving a single project off the local
filesystem (
PROJECT_DIR). No DB, no auth, no uploads — the minimum the editor needs, and a worked example of the contract.
Quick start
cd web
pnpm install
git submodule update --init web/pcbjam-shared # if not already populated
cp standalone/.env.example standalone/.env
cp backend/.env.example backend/.env # PROJECT_DIR=../../tests/fixtures/demo
pnpm dev # turbo: backend :3060 + editor :3048
Open http://localhost:3048 — either open a local folder (no backend needed)
or open the backend's project. The editor can point at any conforming backend
via VITE_API_BASE_URL.
WASM artifacts
The runtime artifacts (<tool>.js/.wasm, wx.js, images.tar.gz, <tool>.html)
are build outputs, not committed. They are synced into tests/apps/kicad/ by
tests/scripts/setup-kicad-wasm.sh (from repo-root output/).
They must be served same-origin as the app. Under the document's COEP /
cross-origin-isolation (set by the Vite dev server), KiCad WASM refuses to load
its glue/wasm from a different origin. pnpm dev runs scripts/link-wasm.mjs,
which symlinks standalone/public/wasm → tests/apps/kicad; Vite serves them
at /wasm. VITE_WASM_ASSET_BASE_URL defaults to /wasm.
- Point the symlink elsewhere with
WASM_SRC_DIR=/path pnpm --filter @pcbjam/standalone link-wasm. - If a tool won't load, the target dir is probably empty — run
tests/scripts/setup-kicad-wasm.shto populatetests/apps/kicad/. - prod: point
VITE_WASM_ASSET_BASE_URLat a URL whose origin also satisfies the same-origin / COEP constraints.

Contract (@pcbjam/shared, MIT)
The editor reads from a backend over the shared contract:
GET /api/projects, GET /api/projects/:project,
GET /api/projects/:project/files, and the streamed
GET /api/projects/:project/files/* (raw bytes). Management/write operations and
ownership are not part of this contract — they belong to the closed app.
